Yes, Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]m sure this question is asked more than you would care to see, but I do have some particular characteristics for my situation I would like to get some advice on from what looks to be an awesome community!
Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]m a single male, 32 y/o, and live in a 2 bedroom house. In anticipation of at least one, but probably two cats, I have ordered the Litter Robot and a Platinum Drinkwell. Beyond that, I have picked up other things here and there, but obviously the most important part is missing – the cat(s)! I have done a bit of research and I have the following parameters to fit, but I would also like to get your input.
1)\tIâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]m away from home a realistic 10 hours a day (weekdays).
2)\tThe use of my whole house is not a problem.
3)\tI donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t want a young cat, but I also donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t want a hyper adult cat.
4)\tThe cat will be an indoor-cat only.
5)\tI want to find a cat already spayed/neutered and front declawed (rescue/shelter).
6)\tI donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t want to mess with a LOT of shedding. I know there will be shedding and hair, but the less the better…not so much because of my furniture or anything, but because of the clothes I regularly wear, but change out of immediately when I get home (dress pants, sport coats, sweaters, etc.).
I have time to wait for a selfish but practical match for me. Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]m also within just a few hours of Kansas City, Omaha, and Des Moines, so Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]m sure that I will be able to find a good fit somewhere close without having to have the cat travel too far.
I have been leaning toward an Abyssinian and/or a Bengal. Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]m a bit worried on how much energy a Bengal would take, though. Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]m also not sure on whether to get a male, female, or a mix.
With getting two cats, I think it would be best to get them at the same time, or at least within a few days of each other so they are reintroduced in similar situations.
Beyond that, Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]m definitely not set on any specifics and any thoughts you have on a good match for me and the cat(s) would be greatly appreciated!
